Serve as the primary Production Operations liaison for suppliers, proactively identifying issues before they impact production.
Provide engineering input for proposals, cost‑reduction strategies, and low‑rate production readiness.
Participate in technical interchange meetings with suppliers and customers, and support the hourly/union workforce as needed.
Travel periodically to supplier facilities and other Lockheed Martin sites to ensure alignment and resolve manufacturing challenges.

Why Join Us:

The ideal candidate is a collaborative problem‑solver who thrives in fast‑paced environments, builds strong cross‑functional relationships, and is passionate about advancing manufacturability, efficiency, and quality.
